I think we are going to need better anti-cheat

Hey there. I’ve started noticing a lot of suspicious player activity, which I also report. Specifically I’m talking about extreme map awareness (impossible to flank, impossible to assault). I just got shot at the bottom of a river in Tunisia from 300m away, through a forest, then had my other lone engineer get strafed by a plane in the middle of the desert. I’m going to venture a guess, and say that wallhacking is probably increasing.

I hope the team will keep a very close eye on this stuff, it completely ruins the game experience, and will push all actual players to camp even more than they already are - When assaulting points is completely nonviable, people turn to camping to gain kills and XP. If this becomes a trend, gameplay becomes lame.

Edit: I will also say, that recent weeks have been the first time I’ve felt like there were cheaters in the game. Never had the “spider sense tingle” in Enlisted before.

Are you sure that wasn’t player, but bot?

Yes, the bots don’t open fire from those distances, & the guy was sitting on a roof (saw the outline). No LOS, he was behind like 10 palm trees.

what might have happened:

player has 10 HP, if somebody has dealt 8 damage and then someone deals the last 2 the person who dealt the 8dmg gets the kill (don’t know if this is the accurate way of saying it)

the kill cam show the player who did the first damage (most damage) so if you took cover and someone flanked and gave you the last shot the first player will be shown on the kill cam and that maybe why there wasn’t line of sight

I actually didn’t know this about the killcam. This could explain some of the weirdness I’ve experienced. Overall, I feel this game has far less cheating problems than most fps titles, so it did surprise me as well. The feeling of always being visible was definitely there this time though, our team never made it onto the first point. I think I lost 8 engineers that match without being able to build a single spawn more than halfway.

…spawns could always be better i guess, some of them do be having some weird flanks, hard to get out of if you join late

the game mechanics in general hide cheating pretty well
minimal downtime doesnt give you time to think about wierd shots, there are plenty of bots, which bring their own wierdness and af course there is desync and bugs

My “I don’t think people cheat” is based on consistently scoring top, and not cheating… But yeah, if someone was doing it (and being smart about it) I don’t know how I’d notice.
